We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ferry Knoll, it is a very comfortable cottage in an excellent position. Having a residents parking space was very useful. We walked for miles from the cottage, with no need to move the car. The Bell pub is very convenient and serves good food. We especially enjoyed the 'Pie and Pint' night.

This was our fourth stay in this cottage and we love it! It is comfortable, clean and in a perfect location. My only reservation about highly recommending it is that you won't be able to fit us in again in the future!!! Very much looking forward to staying again if you will have us please.

This three bedroom cottage sits in a great position. Close to the beach and 50 yards to the nearest pub. Parking outside the cottage was ideal. Although we stayed in November when it was quiet and parking anywhere wasnt a problem, it will different in high season. Small courtyard garden is secure for dogs. Inside the cottage laid out well with a gRead moreood size kitchen diner for eating. Kitchen well stocked with everything you need. Downstairs toilet included. Two comfortable reception rooms and all bedrooms were a good size. Bed comfortable and views to southwould and the sea. Large family bathroom and good size shower cubicle. All in all a great cottage to spend time in and enjoy what walberswick has to offer , we loved our stay there and will return Hide
